I think Danger should lose his funniest member ribbon. Ever since he won he hasn't said anything funny. I know he's still around because every once in a while he pops in here to say something serious, but his GD comments have gone from 74 posts a day to 0.16 p.a.d.

So, you're saying you should have lost yours when you permanently left for awhile?
 
i did lose mine.
 
Who do you suggest gets it?

I think every member of the sisterhood should get it. They should make a nice little cute one for each one of them.

They bring a lot of laughter and humour to GD.
 
don't be a kiss ass.
there would have to be a new election.
 
The sisterhood should get it? :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: You should get it for that line!
 
Not difficult: jimmy p!:-p
He's the only 1 who makes me laugh right now! perhaps that's because I'm new to his jokes!
 
you aren't new to his jokes. his jokes might be new to you, but he's been making fun of you for months.

He goes in streaks. Last week was one. He's not funny anymore if you've noticed.

Now Mk is one funny guy...

Whenever people tell me I'm funny I have to point out to them that looks aren't everything. Shallow jerks.

You're funny, franz! It just makes me laugh whenever I think of your name or your relationship with Moonbear.(:smile:)

You know, looks aren't everything. Shallow Jerk.

And as for the other part...welll...we prefer not to talk about that.

Relationship? There was no relationship! Just a few electrons transmitted over the internet.

There seems to be a habit of our funniest members taking off on us as soon as they get the ribbon! Though, Danger did warn you all he was going to do that, and you voted for him anyway. :rolleyes:

Strangely enough, it usually works the other way around, someone shows up here for the main forums and starts out all serious, then discovers GD and they never escape again. Danger started out pretty much in GD and now we've lost him to the main boards. :frown:

If it was me I'd impeach all funny members! They keep me here for so long hours!

If that's what you call the conception of franzbear, then yes.

On a side note: How can you transmit electrons over an abstract construction? More like electrons transmitted through telco cables.

Well, next year we're not letting our funniest member get away. I'm already sketching up the pin design, and it's going on a straight jacket and includes shackles.

Well maybe if you hadn't let trib get away the first time Danger wouldn't have followed suit?

See what happens when you're reactive instead of proactive?

Sex is how you impeach someone. Don't you see through Danger's ploy? :rolleyes: I'd vote for Artman (but only with the straightjacket and shackles).

:smile: Yeh, I used to be kinda funny too... I still check into the caption competition thread every once and awhile. It takes a lot of time to stay up with GD. I have actually considered a ban request like Townsend. :eek:
